Blue Jays Vs Tigers Starts 6:30 pm on Apple TV+ Only

blue jays vs tigers starts at 6:30 pm Friday, but the game will not be on Sportsnet. Instead, Toronto’s meeting with Detroit is part of Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball, so viewers who normally turn to a traditional linear TV broadcast will need a streaming login or radio.

Apple TV+ carries the game in Canada for $14.99 monthly, with a seven-day free trial and a yearly subscription listed at $129. The Blue Jays are among the few teams with a regular-season game outside the usual Sportsnet window this season.

Apple TV+ and the Blue Jays

Apple TV+ began carrying regular-season MLB games in 2022, and Friday’s matchup is another example of that package pulling a marquee game away from a regional TV feed. For fans, the key change is simple: the game is available through the Apple TV app or on Apple TV’s website, not on Sportsnet television.

Viewers can open the app on Apple devices, Windows PC, Android mobile devices, smart TVs, streaming devices, and cable set-top boxes. Inside the app, searching “Blue Jays” or “Friday Night Baseball” should pull up the stream quickly enough for a 6:30 pm start.

Sportsnet 590 The Fan

There is still a radio option. Sportsnet 590 The Fan will carry the game, giving Blue Jays followers a live call if they are away from a screen or do not want to subscribe to Apple TV+ for one night.

That split is the friction point for this game. Toronto’s schedule usually sits across several Sportsnet channels, but Friday’s trip to Detroit lands in Apple TV+’s Friday Night Baseball package, leaving television viewers with a streaming-only path and radio as the alternative.

Toronto and Detroit

The practical choice for fans is straightforward: use Apple TV+ on a supported device, use the website, or tune to Sportsnet 590 The Fan on radio. The Tigers game begins at 6:30 pm, so anyone planning to watch has to make the switch before first pitch.
